radiophonic Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Back in the late 80s, a guitarist I played with had all his effects in rack format (of course!) and he had a really cool rack for it all. It looked like a red plastic milk crate, but drilled for about 6U of gear. It was really light and the handles were built in to the design. I've never seen another one but I remember it being a product rather than a DIY job. I'm on the lookout for a lightweight and portable rack solution at the moment and something a bit less ugly than the standard black ABS type would be nice. Anyone remember these things?

The one I recall was more of an open frame so you could grab it easily, but that would do the job. I'm planning to rack a channel strip, headphone splitter amp, interface and a mac mini as a sort of mobile recording rig that will also not look terrible stuck on a shelf in my music room. My bass and all my cables are red too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 The red might be discontinued now though, I can only find it in image search. Black ones are still for sale though. But it does have a built in handle and the back panel comes off: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they've been available recently though s/h may be worth watching. Those PRO-R ones are silly money though!
